  • lol funny ending

  • Lakers have a deeeeeeeeeep squad now with Artest but now they have major depth with Blake, and fucking Barnes. Barnes is a tough guy. The guys that fuck with Kobe seem to get jobs. I may have to throw a soda at him at a game or something. Not. Go Lakers 2011

  • Jim Hill is the M A N

  • @ the end jim asked Ron if he got some more of that weed..RON say: yeah let's go smoke out in my car JIM....lmfao.

  • RON THE BEST LAKER BETTER THEN KOBE

  • *Chants* Thank u, Ron! Thank u, Ron! Thank u, Ron! Thank u, Ron! Thank u, Ron!

  • 1:57. wurd up. unless your in that spot you cannot feel him.

  • Ron Artest is a nutcase....but L.A. is full of em. He is an awesome teammate .But he is crazy off the court

  • the bro hug at the end hilarious

  • yea he thought the camera was off lol

  • being a celts fan and all

    theres one team im worried about

    i think everyone knows who im talking about

  • OMG i feel bad for lebron melo paul pierce ext

  • as much as i love Ariza and what he did for LA. im very excited to see Ron play with the lakers, and we never hated Ron we love that vicious side!!!

  • What a dodgy interview, I'd like to know what the interviewer said to Artest in the end.

  • 1st and foremost WELCOME TO L.A. MR RON RON!!!

    2nd ron will get along with kobe pau odom bynum phil fisher EVERYONE!! because here in LA we LOVE new players that we know can give us a damn chance to win the championship!!

    3rd LAKERS 010 CHAMPS!!! i hope ron ron will love the ring after 09-010 season :)

  • alot of people are saying artest is gonna get into it with his teammates because of his temper but if u look at his history he never fought with a teammate only with his competition so i beleive hell fit in just riht wit the lakers lakers champs in 2010

  • ron is going to speak the truth regardless. people forget that last season in houston he criticised mcgrady on his defense which was true. mac got angry about it and it rifted the locker room. he is a good guy i believe and a good teammate everyone says so. but if kobe, pau, bynum or odom or fisher aren't playing tough defense he will let em and the media know no matter how harsh it sounds. players may rift but in the end lakers will be a much better defensive team.

  • I like ron artest now i alwase liked the matchups of kobe and him... now it will be sweet to see artest line up for 3 and hit it from a pass from kobe

  • arrtest is starting to look like a dennis rodman to me if you know what i mean

  • welcome to LA Ron

  • hes going to play with the black mamba now yall!!back to back!

  • Comment removed

  • Lol at the comment below. That's funny shit. I'm a huge lakers fan, but you gotta give it to the rockets, they were a tough team too. Artest and ariza was a good trade.

  • lol, at the end Jim smelled the weed on Ron and asked him " hey you still have some" and Ron says " yeah it's in my car, let go smoke out"...

  • @shortodom bwahahahahah for real!!

  • @shortodom hahahhaa l lmfao 

  • Jim Hill is the MAN

  • Man Artest is good, but this messes with team chemistry. The lakers defense just got really good. Ariza was the spark and a intangible playmaker off the bench. I will miss Ariza, but Artest is a defensive giant with scoring ability. We will just have to see how he blends with the team personality. He's been known to clash with team mates.

  • the only teammate he clashed with in houston was mcgrady pointing out his injuries. i say that ron was the glue that held the rockets together the 2nd half of last season and sometimes in the playoffs. thats a good thing. but ya i say that he may butt heads with kobe especially in practice he is a competitor and a fierce one at that. the only problem with him is that he can be a ball stopper at times. very unselfish but sometimes he takes some crazy shots. get ready for some fadeaway bank 3s lol

  • nah thats cause on other teams he was the first option alot of times and didnt have talented teammates that could get their own shot, thats where those stupid hailmary threes came from, in LA ron ron gonna have so many quality shots and wide open threes, hes gonna say thanks kobe! thanks pau! thanks lamar! hahaha back to back!

  • trust me. he had a great team in indiana. if that team went to the finals they would have beat the lakers in 03-04. it wasn't artest's fault they lost he was the DPOY. but he did take random shots then. and he wasn't the first option. in houston he did the same thing not all the time because he is very unselfish. but at times he would drift. he would go out of the team concept. i agree that he will try to brush that out of his game but reality is that you will recognize what i already know.

  • thats your opinion how he'll play in LA but im more inclined to believe if anything ron wouldnt even get enough touches in LA, he's basically playing arizas role, wait in the wing and catch and shoot or drive when the lanes open, offensively ron doesnt have to do anything in LA, i bet he'll average less then 10 points this season and take like 7-10shots a game, but the lakers will be better becasue of his defense, thats all we need to improve is that, those days in indiana are long gone

  • trust me on this. if the lakers brought in ron to play like ariza they are making a massive mistake. ya ron can shoot 3's well and do that but if you want me a longtime ron artest fan from his streets of new york days(ya i live in NY and recently went to queens as a kid to watch ron and odom as well as rafer play) to st. johns university to chicago to indiana to sac-town to houston days to believe that he will embrace an ariza's role is ridiculous. no way will that happen.

  • well what did the lakers bring him in for then? are you tellin me lakers need another post player? gasol,bynum,kobe,odom, or another sixth man off the bench? another shooter? i dont think so...offensively lakers were and still are tits in the league with or without ariza, rons comin in for toughness, rebounding, defense, and i think ron knows that! never has he been joining such a stacked team, i look at the WCF and melo basically had his way with ariza, scored at will! this is why we got artest

  • i agree that you got artest for defense and toughness/rebounds. but if the lakers don't try to utilize his inside game he will be under utilized. i know the lakers have massive offensive power but the triangle is bred to invert players just imagine posting gasol one play then posting artest and having gasol FT line extended thats a threat no double teams. that would be unstoppable in my opinion. i'm just saying that if you have 2 guys in kobe and artest that can invert it will be a huge plus.

  • ya i can see that happening, thats one of the plus i saw with having artest instead of ariza, another inside presence, i geuss that can be an option depending on who they play, and what mismatches are there, but i think consistently day in and day out this season lakers will play offense similarily to last season, hey if it aint broke dont fix it, right? i think ron is gonna be great on this team he just doesnt need to do too much, IMO

  • well thats true lakers have enough firepower as it is and if bynum develops more thats another weapon. thats a very stacked & jacked team in L.A. i seriously don't think they had a stacked team like that since the 80s ya their 3 peat team was good but definitely not this talented imo. i mean they have 2 all star potential bigs, 2 very versatile guys (odom, ron), the best player in the game in kobe. farmar, brown, morrison on the bench developing and a vet in fisher. thats not even fair lol.

  • ya this roster we got isn't fair at all! lol, getiing artest for the league mid salary, and keepin odom and brown is ridiculous! so stacked i really think the lakers are going to give a serious run at that 72-10 record from the bulls, as long as we stay healthy

  • agreed especially since teams like the nuggets, rockets, jazz and a number of others got worse this summer. lol i can actually for the first time in a while say that the best games will be in the eastern conference they are stacking up big time. but ya barring any injuries 72-10 is possible. and barring any injuries is tough since bynum gets injured by the grizz all the time lol when lakers face grizz bynum shouldn't play they are bad luck for the guy.

  • the fact of the matter is that the lakers did not bring artest to be ariza. they will post him where he does massive damage to other SF's, they will kick it out for him to shoot and they will have to give him the ball. he is not a freelance player. he is definitely not a jump for loose balls guy either. he is a SF defensive stopper that at one time was the most versatile player in the league. i don't believe the lakers want to under utilize him like you are trying to say. that would be dumb.

  • shits funny, the end of the video

  • Why did LA traded ARIZA for ARTEST??!!

    it could be good if they choose "WALTON" and "MORRISON" for exchange with ariza RIGHT??!

    damn the lakers unit would be unstoppable if that happens DUDE!

  • Comment removed

  • it wasnt a trade they were both free agents and both the teams signed the other

  • dude its not a trade

    they're both r free agent

    ariza's dumb agent fucked up so ariza playin for a shit team

    so ariza 's gone so the lakers picked up artest

  • Ron Artest the defensive player of the year 2010 Yeah!!! Repeat!!!!

  • nope. artest is a great defender but he lost some tremendous foot speed. brandon roy and kobe ripped him to his standards when he guarded them. shane battier is a better perimeter defender. but ron has to be the best defender defending 3's in the game. i seen this guy hold lebron with help to 21-0-0 it was crazy.

  • I agree. I wrote that Artest is going to be the defensive player of the year. I think you replied to the wrong person.

  • oh crap lol my bad ya sorry wrong person to post my bad.

  • FUCK THAT Trader we are Playing the lakers on November 4 in toyota center and March i might go to one of them. so i hope they loose by a lot of points,

  • I think you mean traitor.

  • lmao, did Jim Hill think the camera man turned it off? haha,

    GO Lakers! '10 CHAMPS!.

  • washanen07

    artest made 150 3pointers last season and shot 40% from behind the arc

    ariza made 61 and shot 31%

    ummmm...i think thats an improvement on the offensive side so...you're dumb

  • just put it like this if artest fuck up the lakers this year with all of his pointless brick shots big kobe gone whoop his ASS artest is NOT good enough to play with the lakers let alone the greatest player in the world kobe

  • hahaha i have nice wedding ring

  • i wanna see raja bell close line Kobe now that he has that crazy asshole ron backing him up

  • hahaha. ron ron would knock raja bell. that would be somethin to see.

  • man the lakers made a big mistake tradin ariza for artest man artest is going to ruin it next year hes just a good defender hes not a good offense ariza had defense to and could shoot 3s if it wasnt for ariza they wouldnt of beat the nuggest during that play off game

  • LOL @ the end he was just like "I LOVE YOU MAN!"

    p.s I think ron was Chopped lol

  • hahaha the whole interview was cool and all but the ending was DOPE lmao Jim Hill callin out for that hand shake haha just made me crack up. im glad that ron is joining the lakers. another awesome season is going to come

  • 2010 is the year Ron won his first championship!

  • LMFAO at SELACARTELs comment, it made me laugh pretty hard. yea the end was pretty random

  • ron artest is just gonna start shittttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttt!

  • Jim hill is a gangsta he basically told Ron i got u homie any problems holla at big JIM...lol

  • Jim Hill is NOT a gangsta, he's just a true Southlander!

  • no shit it was a joke u clown..

  • Kobe Bryant + Ron Artest + Pau Gasol= Lakers 2010 NBA Champs

  • + Lamar Odom!

  • Lakes should of kept Ariza

  • bitch

  • Kobe bryant + Ron arstet = repeat title almost impossible to lose with the two best defenders in the league

  • lmao, how random was the end?

  • thas that BLACK shit u don't know nothin about

  • California Love, of course!

  • all interviews should end like that! haha Go Lakers! -)

  • #37 baby..Go Lakers

  • Jim Hill is Awsome!

  • Rumor has it Jack moved his seats to the upper deck in case anyone throws a beer at artest again....

  • no thats a rumor JACK IS the ultimate laker fan!!

  • i know im just kidding around man. remember the Brawl at the Palace? This Artest signing is just not even fair haha.

  • lol hes the best player i played against!

  • Ron Artest is touched in the head, but love him or hate him he's a passionate, and fierce competitor.

    At the end I think the reporter was like "what's up with the court-side tickets, homey"?

  • Damn is it me or did the reporter show his "HOOD SIDE" at the end of the report there! LOL He was like " Hey check this out my nigga...You gonna do the damn thang aight!" and Artest said "?? What the hell Nigga!?? You HOOD!?? good lookin" haha

  • LMAO!!! omg dat shit iz funny at da end of da interview neva cn dat on professional level ahaha but good shit datz keepn it real. cant wait 4 da season 2 start!

  • Youtube: NBA SWAG RON ARTEST

    swagger!

  • Repeat!!! With Kobe and Ron artest best defense Ron artest is a beast to on offense

  • lakers are going to get into foul trouble with artest on the team.

  • thats 100% true!

  • can u say repeat

  • i like how the first 2:50 was formal, than they go into buddy handshake/hug.lol. artest is a beast though, lakers will have the best defense with the twin towers along with artest/kobe on the perimeter.

  • Motherfuckers better knuckle up THE LA LAKERS just got tough as a muthafukin Tasmanian devil

  • He's like a big kid...he never grew up lol

  • When will artest get his jersey and show it on t.v?

  • next week

  • He's gonna wear No. 37 in tribute to Michael Jackson who's "Thriller" album stayed at No. 1 for 37 weekss. That's good.

  • lol that handshake was hilarious

  • yea, that handshake was like unexpected.

  • damn traitor. what was that crap about being loyal to rox and being a Yao Ming soldier. just wait and see laker fans. the first time that Artest runs the clock down to 2 seconds and bricks a shot in the regular season and Kobe goes ballistic, you will see.

    Because if you did not know, he calls Lebron james a young ron artest. fricking delusional

  • lol what the hell was up with that handshake at the end. There was no thanks or proper ending to the interview, there was just this awkward silence, and then a thugshake.

  • 2:34

    He's such a dumbass lol

  • lol but he's not a bad guy...just a bit off...I don't really think we can judge him because we are all childish like that in some way....at least most of us...

  • I hope Artest attacks some more fans.

  • Nice!! now maybe Kobe will fight and have some back-up!

  • lmao the ending was hilarious!

  • i loved ron also when he was on the rockets!! he plays harder than the 99 percent of the players out there!

  • dont worry artest, u'll get a ring next yr, and every1 in L.A welcome u. Lakers '10.

  • And now we have three veterans:

    The "Fisherman", The Black Mamba, and the infamous "The Test"

    These three I know can help inspire the young players and motivate them to be better.

    But I still like Trevor even though he is gone to the Sprockets.

  • oh my cant belive it trevor is gone!1they need treor against portland becasue theyr younger and they need trevors speed and lenhght!!stupid trevors agent!!i hope lamar will resign with the lakers!!!!!lakers 2010!!!!!not boston!!!lmao

  • it's so funny how every laker fan like despised artest last season...soon as he gets signed with them, ya hate to say it, but we now love him!!!!

  • LMAO SOME BROTHER LOVE AT THE END LOL

  • lol

  • man i really hate that we lose trevor...i was just watching the playoff here at youtube and i really saw what trevor can bring on a team...his first time to be healthy playing on the playoffs to the finals..if i were to choose i would choose trevore over lamar...Good Luck Ariza!!!! thanks for the ring!!!! as a Laker fan....WE LOVE YOU!!!!

  • Jim Hill's a jerk. My friend's dad repaired his TV, but he said he didn't have the money at the time. He said he'll send it by check, and he assured him, "Don't worry. I'm Jim Hill. I'm rich." Two weeks pass, and he still doesn't receive a check. When he contacts Jim Hill, he says the TV broke again so he won't pay. Huh??? If the TV broke, shouldn't he have contacted the technician again?

    The TV probably worked fine, but Hill's a shady guy. Spread the word.

  • HE"ll yahhhhh!!! artest!!!v baby. we can defend the 3 now Im really happy how artest agree with a very cheap cash, and its reminds me on denis rodman how he join the bulls in 96 baby.

  • 2:44.. LMAO!!!

    Ron Muthafuckin' ARTEST!! The TEST man is a LAKER.. WOW!!

  • this is going to be another championship, way easier this year

  • It seems that way but idk anything can happen. the chemistry just has to be there, and I know Artest is a better player; but Ariza really helped LA win the championship.

  • i can't wait. this should be exciting. LA is going to love you RON.

  • They went to hot box his car...lol..news reporters never give dat like that...lol..this is too funny

  • comin to repeat! go LAKERS!!!!!!! KOBE alday

  • "Exactly play to win+ I have a nice wedding ring! And i like to have another one a ring! -Ron Artest

  • Yo, I wonder what they were talkin bout afterwards!!

    LoL

  • all I got to say coming being an L.A. fan that I respect the rockets now more & for making L.A. a better team in the playoff with out that hard fought 7 game series idk but it made the Lakers a better team they needed that

  • Lakers should get SKIP also.. have half the roster be from QUEEEEEEEEENS

  • thats so cool that he hugged him it shows that hes just as excited as we are

    ...Artest is an emotional guy he puts his heart on the court for his team mates and the city he plays with hes going to keep us focused and LA will show him MAD LOVE and hes amazing for taking less money and he still gives Houston props

  • Ron artest is one dumb mofo. Go back to houston.

  • stfu bitch hes better than u

  • lol.

  • what are you, like 10?

  • In the end of the interview the the guy who interview ron ask him if u could get a ride lol sweet lol

  • RyanR20091: You spout homophobic comments (for someone who hates gays so much you like to linger on the cocksucking comments.. makes you wonder) and then call people barbarians? Redneck moron. What do you mean "Betrayal"? Houston betrayed themselves when they built their team around two of the most overrated injury prone players in the league. Taking less money to play for a ring is a sign of integrity not betrayal shitbrain. Keep whining though. Makes Laker fans laugh at your sorry ass >:D

  • hey i dont hate the lakers i actually like and respect them they arent my team but i have nothing against them. i like odom he is one of my favorite players because of his versatility gasol is good too. i was just ranting on artest but youre right i shouldnt have said those homophobic comments about him i was just mad we lost a terrific talent .plus you lakers always win cant somebody else win for a change its only right for the nba kobe has nothing else to prove im not homophobic either

  • I remember when the bulls kept winning and people said "can't somebody else win?"

    It's only one ring in seven years...I think with all the trades and stuff, it's gonna actually be tougher for the Lakers.

  • Fair enough... I can respect that. But I still hate Texas.

  • Artest was well respected as an formidable opponent. He was never hated by Lakers fan.

  • yeah I never hated the guy two & for some reason I knew he was going to be a laker & I knew L.A. had to make a move & one more I think Kobe will tie Jordan for rings

  • Lakers fans, please check out the Lakers message boards for all the Lakers and NBA news and rumors. Can also talk basketball with other Lakers fans on the forums. kb24dotcom andrewbynumdotcom thelakersnationdotcom lakersgrounddotnet clublakersdotcom letgolakersdotcom lakersdottopbuzzdotcom

  • I'm hoping they emphasis on it, but this move can make the Lakers the best defensive team in the league which will lead to Kobe finally getting strong consideration for Defensive Player of the Year..

  • i thought he was about to kiss him too lmaooo!

  • Fckn Jim Hill I thought he was going to kiss Ron.......lmao.........As Always Jim ...Great Interview

  • LOL @ THE ENDING.

  • FEAR L.A !!!!!!!!!!

  • hell yes! Kobe and Ron Ron XD

  • ron ron has absolutely nothing to offer interviewers haha

  • Did anyone else find the end of the video kind of unconventional? not in a bad way just didn't expect it to end just like that.

  • ron n kobe used 2 play together hpe 4 good team 16th title

  • yea and he used to play wit lamar odom back when they were teens in the aau team... this is gonna be great

  • I wonder how he'll handle coming off the bench.

  • ron artest + lakers=RIP 29 other teams

    You Can't Beat LA!

  • ron is happy

  • nba. where rivals team up.

  • dude its over lakers will win 74 games this season fuck the cavs fuck the celtics its over nigga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • lol i jus plused dat comment

  • LOL that ending was just SOOOO professional haha.

    I thought it was very nice he shout out Trev though.

  • LOL! it was like. "i would like to get another ring" the end.

  • phillip will know what to do with him adelman had no idea how to handle him

  • Houston just lost luck. The injury status on Mcgrady and Yao is questionable, and who knows if they will even play next season and the fact that they don't have Artest anymore. I mean Ariza might become a great addition to the team, but Ariza is not Artest. Right now Artest is a better overall player. Next season's going to be exciting!

  • all right ron and the lakers would have another ring HEIL TO THE 2010 CHAMPIONS

  • I cant believe Ariza let the money get to his head, for 3 million more . . . .

  • Me too, I think it's gonna be a career regretting move.

  • Yeah, point blank: Houston is good, but they're not going to win you a championship. I hope this backfires on him horribly.

  • to ryanr20091 shut the fuck up your team is wack they not even going to make the playoff,s so go suck a dick you bitch ass nigga go LA 4 2010 NBA champions.

  • In the end Jim Hill goes : 'hey my place, i got some KFC and Kool-Aid.'

    Ron: 'Hell yeah,you know ill be there'

    Jim Hill: 'uhh wanna carpool?'

    EVERYONE im just KIDDING.

    or maybe that was a drug deal.

    JK

  • LoL i seen the end..you might be on to something

  • eat a dick.

  • Welcome to the city of Angels Artest....Lets RepEaT~!~

  • man LA shows love to every body that shows they want it ...Odam we talk shit on him but that cause we want him to do good ....even Brown and Smush we gave them a chance but LA dont put up with Bullshit we dont play ...LA is in it to win it

    and he right LA did does have love for him cause we see his heart on the court

  • yeh and i agree with your post, they give people chances, and they make the right decsions. They brought back fisher coz of his situation, they stole Gasol, kept Kobe happy by rebuilding (slowly unfortunately) hot rid of Kwame the scrub, and Smush and Cook. what a decade it's been for LA. Kobe's gonna have 33 rings once he's done lol ;)

  • Can you say 3peat!!

  • not now 2peat yeah

    Go Lakers

  • 2peat ...amn this spells 5peat no joke..

    im in Europe know on vacation so i missed the news ...can some one fill me in ....we getting Artest but Ariza is gone (thats cool Ariza put in his work)

    so we keeping Odam man i jope we do i pray we do can someone tell me that we will keep Odam ...fuck yes 4 year we been trying to get this nigg FUCK Yes

  • Whe're getting Artest, resigning Odom with the money we're saving, getting rid of Ariza, Kobe resigned to a 5 or 4 year contract with LA, Phil's coming back, This ATLEAST deserves a 10 peat :P maybe even 20 - 30 hehe. Lakers are so overly powered it's just not funny. They will punish any team who dares to challenge them, as long as they stay hungry.

  • stay hungry and stay deciplined and not let teams come back from huge deficits. It's our biggest problem. Our ego gets the best of us and team slowly come back. We need to stay focused and win.

  • Yeh definetly, we slack off to much, especially in the 12t/2nd round of the playyoffs, this team is capable of amazing outcomes, they could even get 4 in a row (including this years), we just need to also be injury free and all players must be happy, as well as the points you expressed.

  • fuck being happy. Cavs were happy and look what happened. We need to stay hungry. We won this year, but they have to play like they haven't won shit yet.

  • No, "happy" as they're happy with their playing time and role. Like if Odom wasn't happy about being a 6th man instead of starter, then he would have left and there would be no ring.
